While the summer months tend to be Canada's busiest for tourism traffic, cities like Vancouver have opened up in the last 12 months as the Asian flu has greatly reduced traffic from the East. The summer months are popular for its nice weather but there are no guarantees, as both Caroline Astell, PhD, and Camille Petrick can attest. Both conference organizers hosted conferences in Vancouver the second week in July this past summer, and both groups hit a rainy spell. Despite the fact that Vancouver had 85 consecutive days of sunny weather beginning the third week of July, "our group just happened to hit a spell of rain," says Astell, a professor of biochemistry at the University of British Columbia and the local organizer for the 17th Annual American Society of Virology meeting.
The Rosemont, Ill.-based American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine brought 1,000 delegates to the city the same week as the ASV. "The rain was definitely a negative factor," says Petrick, the Society's director of meetings. "But we were very impressed with the facilities at the hotels and level of service and the activities that they could do in spite of the weather." Those activities included breakfast with the whales at the Vancouver Aquarium, a visit to the Museum of Anthropology, and a scenic trip on the Royal Hudson steam train. The one aspect of the program that was a challenge: airfares. "The cost of airfare was high in the summer," notes Petrick. "The cruise lines take up a lot of bulk airfares, so many of our delegates either didn't fly direct or paid a premium."
On the other side of the country, weather was a big bonus for the 1,500 delegates who came to Halifax in August for the 8th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology. "The weather was great and the conference also coincided with the annual Buskers Festival, which was an added bonus," says convention chair, Colin Bell, a professor of microbiology at Halifax's Acadia University. As for accommodations, blocks were reserved up to two-and-a-half years out, which is important when planning for the summer months, notes Bell. The convention itself was contained within the World Trade and Convention Centre, which is within walking distance of the city's major hotels. Just about every hotel in the city was used, as were residences at both Dalhousie and St. Mary's universities. Bell says Halifax was a prime destination for this prestigious, international gathering because of its great research and learning institutions and because it offered a great social program as well. "Scientists can be sort of stuffy at times," he concludes, "but Halifax offered a nice, casual, and laid-back atmosphere that went over very well."

Crobat is best off with direct offense, in the form of the Choice Band set. Its amazing Speed makes it a great late-game cleaner, and its nice typing grants it several handy resistances, including 4x ones to Fighting and Bug. However, Crobat has huge problems with Steel-types, and should therefore be paired with Magneton.
Sludge Bomb's nice 30% chance to cause poison allows Crobat to hurt its common opponents, such as Tyranitar, even if you mispredict. Hidden Power Fighting requires an imperfect Speed IV, which may cause you to lose the tie against opposing Crobat, so you'll have to use Hidden Power Ground if that's important.
Maximize Attack, and hit at least 374 Speed to outspeed Alakazam and Sceptile. The rest of the EVs should go into Crobat's HP.
That's right, only two moves. The only way you will get this Crobat to work is by setting up three layers of Spikes, then getting Crobat put to sleep; it's highly specific, but effective. Sleep Talk negates Whirlwind's negative priority, and thanks to its immense Speed, Crobat will blow away anything that's slower—in other words, everything. Not only will this inflict massive Spikes damage, it will also force out opponents with Calm Mind, Curse, Swords Dance, and Substitute. However, beware of waking up too early. Rest is an option here if you don't want to rely on your opponent to put Crobat to sleep, but it will then be using Rest instead of Whirlwind 50% of the time.
Maximize Speed and HP, and put the leftovers in Defense or Special Defense; it won't matter much.
Other Options
Crobat's Special Attack is high enough that it can use Giga Drain or Hidden Power Grass to dent Swampert and Rhydon on the switch; both are fairly common switch-ins on Sludge Bomb. Quick Attack seems to make little sense as Crobat has a base 130 Speed stat, but it will come as a godsend if you are being swept by a Reversal user, as Crobat can actually switch in on Reversal thanks to its 4x Fighting resistance.
Checks and Counters
Pokemon that resist or are immune to Sludge Bomb usually beat Crobat. There is absolutely no chance that Crobat will ever break past the likes of Swampert, Skarmory, Steelix, Weezing, Donphan, and Forretress. Suicune's high Defense lets it take Sludge Bomb well, and while Milotic's Defense isn't as good, Marvel Scale will make it even bulkier if Milotic is poisoned. Aerodactyl outruns most Crobat as they usually don't attempt maximum Speed, and can smash it with Rock Slide; if Crobat lacks Hidden Power Fighting, Tyranitar can do the same.

March 2012
Hi Eva! I was wondering what you could tell be about the people behind the scenes at fashion shows... I went to the Fusion 2012 show yesterday (FIT vs Parsons) and I've always been someone who likes to plan events and basically every little thing I do in life and I was wondering how a person gets into planning fashion shows. I am a freshman at Hofstra University on Long Island currently studying business/marketing.
run, don't walk, to your computer and start applying for summer internships at fashion PR and production companies now (although I suppose if you're reading this you're already in front of a computer). think about your favorite designers that show in New York: Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Oscar de la Renta (those are just a few of mine)—they all hire PR and production companies to stage and to execute shows. ideally, you'll have an internship that can last through the fall (yes, you'd have to commute in. if it's what you want to do it'll be worth it… I once had an intern take a train in every other day from Philly!)—that way, come September, you can work a show and experience the extremely detail-oriented magic firsthand! ps: another reader asked me to name some PR firms and production companies… the cream of the NYC crop: KCD, PR Consulting, Karla Otto
hi eva. i have a ques and it's a matter of life and death! (at least for a shoeaholic like me) planning to buy a boots a size bigger. maybe even 1 1/2. jean michel cazabat leigh boots. that's the onlyy size left. planning to stuff it with insoles and to get pregnant just so my feet will grow bigger to fit in it. think i can pull it off? and how we find the right size for heels? i see bloggers wear them a bit loose. is that how u're supposed to wear them so that it won't blister? many thanks!
well, first of all, I don't think it's a good idea to get pregnant just so your feet will get bigger. imagine telling your child "mommy had you just to buy these shoes." ^.^ (but good thinking). if they're boots, you have more leeway. up to a size too big is fine, since you can pad them—I suggest a double pad approach (a full-length insert, then a second gel ball of the foot insert). they'll probably be the comfiest boots you own! as for people wearing heels loose—um, no, that is not how they're supposed to be worn. in fact, one of my deepest pet peeves is seeing shoes that are too big (as evidenced by girls clattering around like they're five years old and they've borrowed their mother's shoes) or too small (toe overhang, shudder)
Hi Eva! I love the jewelry you wear so I was wondering what you think of wearing different metals together? Also, what do you think is one type of watch that everyone needs? My one nice watch is a dkny ceramic watch and I wanted another classic one that will go with many outfits. Thanks!
I used to be really obsessive about only wearing one type of metal at a time (and usually gold, since it does look better on my skintone). then my dad gifted me with one of his vintage watches—it has a mix of gold and stainless steel. I adore the watch and think of him every time I wear it (which is almost every day). and since then, my bracelets are a mad jumble of everything: gold, silver, stainless steel, gunmetal—the more textures the better, I say! in terms of watches, I think there are two basic ones that people need (okay, not need. ideally should have): a sporty watch (sounds like you have that covered with your DKNY) and a classic, more refined dress watch for, well, dressy occasion (mine is a Cartier Demoiselle)
Hi there! :] Could you recommend a good foundation that I can find in drugstores? (The nearest cosmetic boutique is a really long drive for me, and I only go once every 5 or 6 months... and I really need foundation for an event this weekend.) Thank you so much!
there are so many great foundations sold at drugstores. my first question, however, is are you sure you need a foundation? I find that most people don't actually need a full coverage foundation. what they need is a tinted moisturizer (all over to even out) and concealer (to use around the nose, which tends to be ruddier, and then to spot-correct). but, back to the question at hand, CoverGirl's new Nature Luxe foundation is a nice texture—very light and buildable coverage. I like Maybelline Fit Me as well, it has a wide range of shades for every skintone. and whatever brand you opt for, try to purchase it from a drugstore (like CVS) that has a satisfaction guaranteed policy. that way you can take it home, test out a few shades, and take back the ones that don't work!
February 2012
I am interested in being a fashion journalist or something connected to that. What does a fashion journalist typically make though? Everyone tells me that I should find another job that pays more.
working as a magazine writer will never make you part of the 1% (or even the, say, 10 percent. or 30 percent). will you make enough money to get by? yes. will you have some really fun perks? yes. will you be swimming through your money Scrooge McDuck style? no. but—take it from me—if you take a job purely for the financial reward with no regard for your passion, you will be unhappy and it won't be worth it. you'll spend your days wondering 'what if? should I have…' and that is no way to live
hi!:) i want to be a model and i was just wondering if u knew any good modeling places in il. because I have been to some and they wanted me to pay like 650$ and i also heard it was a scam,let me know if u know any, Thanks!
the first thing I'll say is that if someone ever stops you on the street and says, "hey, you're gorgeous, you should be a model", you should be flattered. if he/she then says "now, give me $500+ dollars", you should be suspicious. the sad reality is that there are scam artists out there who are making a living off of the dreams of young girls. if someone wants to represent you as a model, they will most certainly invest in your career—not charge you for a portfolio or consultation. your best bet is to do some research on the feeder or satellite agencies in Chicago for larger agencies in NYC. and—while I think modeling is a great short-term career—dream up some other ways to work in the fashion industry in the long-term. modeling is rarely a life-long gig… but fashion writing, styling, marketing, etc can be.
Hi Eva! I love your blog so much that it inspired me to start my own! Do you have any tips on how to get more followers, or advice about blogger etiquette? Thank you!!
aw, thank you! well, everything I know about blogging was learned on the fly—so, basically, my first piece of advice would be to just start posting, period. the amazing (and somewhat scary) thing about social media is that it's constantly shifting. there's a lot of room to try new things (polyvore! pinterest! youtube! tumblr!) and if they don't stick, so what—onto the next thing. my second piece of advice is to be consistent. post regularly, post often, and find your voice and passion and let your blog speak to it. for me, it's beauty, fashion, nails, shopping (all the great things in life, ha). be social with other bloggers and repost (always give credit where it's due). and, to borrow Nike's catchphrase, just do it. if you have a passion and an eye, the followers will come

Maybe it is because earlier models had problems? The non-Plus model became available in June of last year. I got a DTVPal Plus in February. So I don't have first hand experience with its earlier problems.
The Plus has a more sensitive tuner than the non-Plus. I've read some say it does better than the Zenith. I've not tried to compare the two side by side hooked up to the same antenna. But it does get a few more channels than the Zenith in our house.
My biggest complaint is that when you switch channels the channel information box blocks the top 20 to 30 percent of the picture for 5 seconds. So I have to constantly press the [Cancel] button right after switching channels to clear that away. (if it is a channel I care to see people's faces on). (sure faces aren't the only thing that might be blocked, but it is the most common). The Zenith just says the channel number (and call sign) in the top right corner.
Both will let you display that chan info at the push of a button too, of course.
(sorry for saying so much on something that probably is better talked about elsewhere)
That [Cancel] button is within easy reach. So it isn't a big deal to press.
The Zenith does have a nice [Signal] button that keeps the signal strength of the current channel dislayed. You can do that using the [Browse] button on the DTVPal. But what sets the Zenith apart is that it makes an audible beep that gets quicker as the signal gets stronger or slower as it gets weaker. This is great for the TV in the kitchen, because its antenna is in the closet that's adjacent to it. And you can't see the picture as you move the antenna.

A man wanted for murder in India apparently killed his wife and two of their children and wounded a third before committing suicide Saturday morning at his Selma, Calif., home, officials say.
Avtar Singh, 47, called Selma police around 6:15 a.m. and told them that he had killed members of his family and was going to kill himself, the Fresno County Sheriff's Office said.
Selma police sought aid from Fresno County sheriff's officials because Singh reportedly had military experience in his native India, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said in a prepared statement obtained by NBC station KSEE of Fresno.
Sheriff's officials tried to contact Singh verbally and by phone, but he did not respond, Mims said.
Fresno County Sheriff's Office
Avtar Singh
When a sheriff's SWAT team entered the home after first examining it with a robot, members found the bodies of Singh, his wife and two children, ages 3 and 15, Mims said. A wounded teen was also found in the home, she said.
The teen was taken to a hospital and is in critical condition with life-threatening wounds, Mims said.
A motive was not immediately clear.
An Indian army major in the 1990s, Singh is accused in the March 1996 killing of human rights lawyer Jaleel Andrabi in the Kashmiri city of Srinagar.
Watch US News crime videos on msnbc.com
Avtar Singh on March 8, 1996, allegedly arrested Andrabi, whose body was recovered March 27, 1996, from the Jehlulm River near Srinagar, according to Indian reports of the case.
Andrabi had been shot in the head and his eyes were gouged out, the Fresno Bee reported.
See the story at NBC station KSEE of Fresno
In Srinagar on Thursday, a court granted Afaq Ahmad, chief prosecuting officer, five more days to prepare an error-free charge sheet and English translation to be submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs so Singh could be extradited, the South Asian News Agency reported.
The ministry earlier sent back the charge sheet, claiming it was neither clear nor legible and that it contained errors, SANA reported.
Andrabi's family has claimed the government for years has delayed prosecuting the case.
Singh had contended he was made a scapegoat in Andrabi's murder case and that his battalion was nowhere near the place where Andrabi was kidnapped at the height of an anti-India uprising, SANA reported.
On Feb. 20, 2011, Singh was arrested and then freed from the Fresno County jail, after he got bail in a domestic violence case registered against him by his wife. Although his fingerprints led police to contact Interpol, the agency said he did not have to be held, SANA reported.
In Selma, a city of 23,000 in California's agriculturally oriented Central Valley, Singh ran Jay Truck Lines, according to U.S. Department of Transportation records. The interstate trucking company specialized in refrigerated trucks for hauling produce and other products, records indicate.

|An Experts Audit - February, 2008
|Page 2
|All Pages
Welcome once again to "An Expert's Audit". This audit will also be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you're interested in having your keeper team "worked over" then you can begin by emailing Dobber about it.
This month's audit goes to the team of a Brit. I picked him because his team and league interested me, and I haven't met any puckhead Brits before. I also figured I might be able to help. But do we really speak the same language?
I've read Shakespeare and I'm not sure we do. James Nickerson, or Shakespeare as I call him, is in the second year of a 12-team keeper league that he got into through another site. His lineup, when everyone is healthy, is decent but he's had to suffer through injuries to Cory Murphy, Kevin Bieksa, and finally Sidney Crosby.
When he contacted us for an audit he was in 11th place and he had scraped his way up to eighth when the truly unfortunate thing happened, Sid took an unwanted holiday.
Shakespeare's league has these categories: G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, W, GAA, SV%, and SHO. In terms of stats accrued, his team is middle of the road but he has been really hurt by injuries.
Let's take a look, I've marked his keeper options with an * (you can keep 18 max):
C Saku Koivu MON – very nice trade bait for a team that's selling.
C Christopher Higgins MON * - he's a nice special teams option. He shoots some, gets PP exposure and has 3 SHG each of the last two seasons.
C Jordan Staal PIT * - he's disappeared for most of the season after having a very noticeable rookie year. With Sid injured he's come to the fore more and he's a solid keeper selection.
LW Vaclav Prospal TB – in order for you to hang on to some younger names you'll either have to shop this guy around or leave him unprotected.
LW Alexander Semin WAS * - consider this year an injury blip. He's a 40 goal guy for the next decade.
LW Ryan Malone PIT - some are very high on him … not me. He has some PIM value that maybe you can parlay into something worth keeping.
RW Dustin Brown LA * - I wasn't expecting him to be this good this season but he's definitely a keep. Hard-nosed, PIMy, and goals galore.
RW David Vyborny CBS – the time to trade him was after last season when he put up all those assists. I'd doubt you can get enough back if you moved him unless you just include him as a throw-in on an offer.
RW Jarome Iginla CAL * – he's very valuable to the Flames but believe it or not he's MORE valuable as a fantasy hockey player than he is as a real hockey player. Keep him forever.
W Patrick Kane CHI * - I'm astounded that you have some significant names for keeper options. Another forever keep, I just hope he bulks up a bit so that he can last.
F Petr Prucha NYR – I thought he was going to be a great goal scorer but he's … gone MIA for most of this season.
F Nathan Horton NAS * - I'd certainly trade him if the right deal came along. The fantasy hockey community has waited a while for him to make good on all that promise. 30 goal seasons are nice but I want to see a string of 40 goal seasons and I'm not even seeing that it's possible right now.
D Tom Gilbert EDM * – good and young and will get opportunity as long as Sheldon Souray struggles with his health, which will be forever. He's on the bubble as a keep.
D Alexei Zhitnik ATL – old, past his time, plays like Zhitnik.
D Ryan Suter NAS * - on the cusp of very goodness (not greatness mind you).
D Adrian Aucoin CAL – in a H2H league where Calgary has 15 games during your H2H playoffs then I would imagine you can get a decent return by offering him up to anyone trying to make a run at the title.
D Joni Pitkanen EDM * - somebody has to man the point and although I'm not a huge fan of Pitkanen's he does a serviceable job and has a history of offensive output.
D Cory Murphy FLA * - when he's been healthy he's definitely shown that he can do the job. You have yourself a very solid and young D corps at your disposal, although without a superstar (yet).
G Miikka Kiprusoff CAL * - the guy's 3rd in Wins in the league, what exactly is there to complain about here?
G Chris Mason NAS * - I just can't stand this guy. He's always been a backup in my eyes and I don't see my opinion changing anytime soon. He was drafted insanely high in fantasy leagues this year but people didn't realize that the Preds were and are a very different team. Do you think maybe I want you to trade him?
BN Jason LaBarbera LA – he's a G3 and you have him in the right spot in your pecking order.
BN Tomas Fleischmann WAS – short term bench option who's getting more ice ever since Nylander went the way of the boo-boo.
BN Matthew Lombardi CAL – another Calgary guy who may have some value as trade bait for the H2H playoffs. I think the 20 goals he put up last year is his ceiling.
BN Daniel Carcillo PHX * - I actually saw him play in an exhibition between the Leafs and Yotes in the preseason here in Winnipeg. I added him to my team the same night. He gives energy to the lineup every night.
BN Kristian Huselius CAL * - maybe your best trade bait for keeper options. I say he'll sign elsewhere in the offseason and will never return to the offensive levels he put up as a Flame.
BN Bobby Holik ATL – I'm not a fan except if your league has Takeaways as a category. He's pretty good in takeaways minus giveaways, but for some odd reason it's not correlated in his +/-.
BN Brandon Bochenski ANH – ice time will drop to virtually nothing now that Teemu is back.
BN Tom Poti WAS – he was to be the PP QB in Washington but he just got his 1st goal of the season and we're heading for the home stretch. Ugh.
BN Michel Ouellet TB – showed promise at one time but it looks like greatness has passed him by.
IR Sidney Crosby PIT * - the best player on the planet.
IR Kevin Bieksa VAN * - he contributes across the board in every category. This has been a lost season for him though.
That's only 17 keeps, but that's ok because I'm not crazy about Chris Mason as a keeper option and we both seem to be pretty keen on moving Kristian Huselius for some young studs since we aren't big believers in what he'll be able to do outside of Calgary next year, and he will be outside Calgary next year. We just have some work to do is all.
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (Hamlet 3.1)
Anyone in a keeper league wants to have Sid the kid as his cornerstone and when I came on the scene James and his UKflames were on the brink of a playoff spot in his H2H league. He was trying to decide if he was a "buyer" or a "seller" when an arrow took out his franchise player in the form of a high ankle sprain. Needless to say, he became a "seller" as all of his hopes for a championship this year went down the tube.
what light through yonder window breaks (Romeo and Juliet 2.2) - waiver wire options
James had been streaming up to four players into his lineup daily in order to maximize his stats on a given week; that changed as soon as he became a "seller". His goals became; solidify his keeper list for next year, and get younger through waiver and through trade. We each sorted through Dobber's prospect list for available guys that weren't rostered and we shed guys from the lineup who were not keeper candidates or had trade value in the league.
Ilya Zubov – 18th ranked prospect on Dobber's prospect list. I believe that Ottawa will have room for him, perhaps as soon as next year, as they won't be able to re-sign all of their bigger names.
Torrey Mitchell – graduated as the 14th ranked prospect on Dobber's prospect list. I think he's getting a really nice tutoring as viable secondary attack in San Jose. He's got the ability to be a solid NHL'er, maybe very soon.
Aaron Voros – I see some really big things for Voros down the road but since you already have Carcillo kept for next year there's little need to keep essentially the same style of player in Voros.
Steve Ott – see Aaron Voros.
Niklas Bergfors – 46th ranked Dobber prospect. I'm not a huge fan but the pickings are also getting slim on your FA list and he's eligible at RW which helps his value in your pool.
Tyler Kennedy – 45th ranked Dobber prospect. He'll be a decent option but things are fairly crowded in Pitt too.
Cody Franson – 97th ranked prospect but the top ranked D prospect available in your league.
Ryan Shannon – 34th, I saw him pull this really nice spin-o-rama during the AHL skills competition when it was here in Winnipeg a couple years ago (and he reprised it in a shootout against Chicago this week). He's small and fast but I don't think his upside is as high as others do.
Nick Foligno – 36th ranked prospect and the highest ranked LW prospect option available on your wire.
Dustin Boyd – 25th ranked prospect but he doesn't look to be getting enough opportunity to be of much use anytime soon. He should be fine in a couple years, I just hope he doesn't become everything that Chuck Kobasew was for the Flames before getting some notoriety somewhere else.
The options that you chose to go with were Ilya Zubov, Torrey Mitchell, and Niklas Bergfors, while you parted ways with Poti, Bochenski and Holik. All three of the adds you made could have a shot at keeper options and your league is also in discussions about adding a 5-man minor league bench which would certainly help your keeper options down the road.

Hi everyone, my name is Jennifer and I am a first time mom. My baby is 3 weeks old and she's drinking the similac sensitive. I am having a hard time when it comes to night time and her sleeping. She sleep's really well during the day but when it comes to mid-night to 5am she will be crying. Does anyone know any tips that will help me. I've try taking her a late bath and feeding her but that doe snot seem to work.
Those first 6 weeks are really difficult as babies adjust to life outside of the womb. More than likely it is a phase and one that she will grow out of soon enough. Until then, make sure she is changed and fed at night in a dimly lit room so she gets used to the fact that it is night. Then make sure that she is swaddled and go ahead and rock her. If she'll take a pacifier, give it to her. Just make sure you don't turn on lights or stimulate her like you would during the day. Soon enough she'll get on track. Good luck!
I'm so sorry that you and your baby are having sleepless nights, that is so frustrating AND exhausting! Is this a sudden change for your baby? Or has it been a slow progression with her sleeping less and less each night? I think that it would be worthwhile to think about what was going on with baby in the week or so before this started? What changed? The next question is, when she is up crying is she unconsolable for that entire time? If she is awake and in misery I think it's worth a trip to the doctor. There is such a things as a "fussy baby", but it concerns me that there has been a change in her behavior. There are many things that can make a baby fussy like this. Sometimes a babies have very mild infections that show this way. We do see a lot of babies with reflux that just have terrible nights. You would think that a baby with reflux would be fussy all day and night, but honestly I do see kids that do well during the day but not as well at night. So, my message here-it might be time for a check up.
Let us know how things are going,
It sounds like colic, our son went through the same thing, except for i was breastfeeding. We thought it was colic because he would start late at night and cry for hours, well colic does start around the age of one month and is characterized by late night unconsolable crying lasting more than 3 hours at least three times a week. Thankfully our son did not have colic, he was not getting enough to eat, but with you formula feeding she should be getting plenty to eat so it just may be colic :(

If you sell your pet to a new owner or if your cat or dog passes away, you must contact City of Sydney to update your registration details. Read more
Register your pet for life
Cat and dog owners in NSW are legally required to microchip and register their pets. Kittens and puppies must be microchipped before they are 12 weeks old or before being sold or given away. They must then be registered before they are 6 months old.
All cats and dogs over 12 weeks old must also wear an identification disc that is engraved with their name and their owner's contact number, which is attached to their collar when outside their home.
If your pet goes astray and is taken to a vet, pound or shelter by a City of Sydney ranger or a member of the community, we can contact you quickly.
The microchip is only about the size of a grain of rice and needs to be inserted by an accredited microchip implanter (between the animal's shoulder blade). Rest assured the procedure is almost painless and your pet won't be harmed.
Once your pet is microchipped, you'll be asked to fill in a standard form. The implanter will then enter the information into the NSW Companion Animal Register or send it to us to be entered. You will be given the pink copy for your records. Once the information has been entered into the database you should be sent a certificate of identification.
To register your pet, bring your pet's identification certificate and any other relevant documents to a Neighbourhood Service Centre, or post photocopies. We'll link your contact details with your pet's microchip number, which is held securely and confidentially on a state-wide database. A one-off fee applies.
FeesCity of Sydney residents
Lifetime registration fees:
- non-desexed cat or dog $182
- desexed cat or dog $49
- recognised breeder $49.
Lifetime registration fees for pensioners:
- first pet free (1 only)
- each additional non-desexed pet $10
- each additional desexed pet $5.
Non-City of Sydney residents who are pensioners
- non desexed cat or dog $182
- desexed cat or dog $19
Please note: assistance dogs that are trained to help a person with a disability must also be registered but there is no fee.
How to register your pet
Download and complete a permanent identification form. Take the form, your pet's identification certificate and any other relevant documents to your nearest Neighbourhood Service Centre. You can pay the fee by cash, cheque, EFTPOS or credit card.
Alternatively, send the form plus a photocopy of the identification certificate and other documents with a cheque/money order (made out to the City of Sydney) to:
City of Sydney
Pet Registration Officer
GPO Box 1591
Sydney NSW 2001
Call us on 02 9265 9333 or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
Note: You must be over 18 years old to register a pet. A parent or guardian can register cats and dogs on behalf of children and teenagers under 18.
Fines for unregistered pets
The fine for not registering a pet aged 6 months or older is $165. If you own a dangerous or restricted breed of dog and don't register it by the time it is 6 months old, you face a $1,320 fine.
Pet registration forms are provided by the Division of Local Government. We have sought and been granted permission to distribute these forms on our website for your convenience.

Excitement Multiplies on Tribble
This was a fantastic weekend on Tribble! Thousands of players donned their captain's uniform and set forth to explore the Star Trek universe. It seemed like starship captains were multiplying faster than Tribbles set loose in a bin full of quadrotriticale! We have received all kinds of feedback, and I can't thank you enough for trying the changes at the beginning of the game and for giving us your feedback in the forums.
At this time, I want to announce that we'll be giving out the traditional unique Tribble award for playing on Tribble. Anyone that gets a Federation character to at least level 6, or levels up a character that they transfer over (once character transfer is active at a later date), will be awarded a unique Tribble item for their character on Holodeck.
As with all the other awards we are giving out for playing on Tribble, we plan to make them available to you after the free-to-play game goes live on Holodeck. We are going to try and do this near when it goes live, but we are promising that it will be within 3 weeks.
Since this is a huge set of changes to gameplay and content, we have decided not to do a single big award based on one goal. Instead, we are giving out a number of smaller awards. This is so that players who come to sample the game on Tribble get a little something for their effort, but also so that those who explore the game with more breadth and depth have the ability to earn additional awards. Few of the awards are going to be awe-inspiring, but as a whole package, our hope is that you'll feel that your time on Tribble was worthwhile.
This week, we plan to open up Klingon play and much more, so stay tuned for some exciting updates. I look forward to seeing you on Tribble!

A friend and I took three children, ages 1-3, to the gallery for its grand opening May 19. The kids had a great time building sculptures out of Styrofoam cuts and pipe cleaners and jellyfish from domed plastic cup lids. The gallery has special events quite often: a book reading every third Saturday of the month and soap sculpting every Saturday and Sunday afternoon in June.
The entire concept is a great idea: A place where kids can play, have fun and learn — and of course, be loud — in what is normally such a calm environment. Just let them run themselves out, and then maybe the whole family can enjoy some Inuit art from Canada.

Window Cleaning Towels
The window cleaning business issues?
I'm interested in advice that separate the average window washing (with Windex and a towel) vs. professional to do. Some questions to help you answer mine: What do I use chemicals? What equipment should you own? step by step in procedures for washing windows, if any? Also, how much should I charge for my service?
cleaning windows is a cleaning company and have an ideal start. Especially if you target small complex of offices and small retail stores, because they will always need the service and more inclined to hire an independent .. I have a resource in my Squidoo Lens (see my profile) All about starting a window cleaning companies a guy who started while in college and made a very good life with him. You'll need a squeegee, buckets, ladders, clean rags, and something better than Windex. You can make your own. He is a professional window cleaner effectively and fast, but I do not know … I clean small offices, no windows. Hope this helps!
